“ Great food and great service. Food was brought in a very timely manner and has been in numerous previous visits. This place never disappoints! ”
“ My favorite gravy and biscuit joint! Waitresses are always friendly and welcoming, the biscuits are always soft and the bacon is good and crispy like I like it. ”
“ I found this place by chance last fall. I've been there every week since. Great food, nice atmosphere, friendly people, large helping at a reasonable price. I love this place. ”
“ Excellent local restaurant! Feel at home service and atmosphere! Great breakfast at a great price! Love the gravy and biscuits! ”
“ If you are not going to Lily’s for catfish, Friday, you are missing out. Wife and I were there at 10:30 which I thought was too early to get the catfish but we really wanted some and they happily obliged. Hush puppies, french fries, coleslaw, string beans everything was great. Hot stuff was really hot. I was packed. Had to take a box back home. Great prices too. Interior is a cross between Salvation Army and your grandmother‘s kitchen. I’m thinking that’s how they keep the food quality up and prices down. ”
“ Cozy medium sized mom and pa place. There isn't a sign on the street but it's right before (or after depending on the direction you come from) an old fashioned Sprite sign. The entrance is on the side of the building not the front facing the street. The service was super friendly and the food was all cooked the way we wanted it and tasty. I really enjoyed the biscuits and gravy, could be a little salty - the gravy - but of course combined with a biscuit it balanced it nicely. The biscuits were soft on the inside and had a crisp maybe buttery bottom. It was good. I asked for crispy bacon and they did a good job. My son got corned beef hash and it isn't homemade (we've only seen that one place though in many years and many places) but we really liked that they crispy cooked it on all sides, no mushy hash! We went for breakfast but will have to come back and check them out at lunch sometime. ”
“ Amazing atmosphere great customer service from Ashley and her coworkers really good breakfast. Great food presentation loved the experience. ”
“ Friendly staff, really , really good food. Clean, comfortable inviting!! It was quiet, a little too quiet. Maybe some background music. ”
